Parents and parenting

It's frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself. It seems unfair. You can't assume the responsibility for everything you do --or don't do.
- Beauvoir, Simone De
Parents and parenting Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Parents and parenting

1.
Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation.
Koop, C. Everett

2.
Children need guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
Sullivan, Anne

3.
Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.
Toffler, Alvin

4.
You must not expect old heads upon young shoulders.
Proverb, English

5.
If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

6.
You have to love your children unselfishly. That is hard. But it is the only way.
Bush, Barbara

7.
Parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth.
Ustinov, Peter

8.
To nourish and raise children against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
French, Marilyn

9.
We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.
Beecher, Henry Ward

10.
Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.
Lebowitz, Fran

11.
He that does not bring up his son to some honest calling and employment, brings him up to be a thief.
Proverb, Jewish

12.
To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune... to lose both seems like carelessness.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Bacon, Francis

14.
How selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.
Day-Lewis, Robert Cecil

15.
There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents.
Yankwich, Leon R.

16.
Maternity is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion.
Proverb, American

17.
Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.
Bloom, Allan

18.
Let your children go if you want to keep them.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

19.
Parents are traffic signs that are always in our blind spots.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

20.
A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

21.
Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

22.
Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.
Collingwood, Robin G.

23.
The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Darrow, Clarence

24.
To understand your parents' love you must raise children yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

25.
It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.
Aidoo, Ama Ata

26.
He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. [Exodus 21:17]
Bible

27.
No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
Cosby, Bill

28.
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
Frost, Robert

29.
Let me go to hell, that's all I ask, and go on cursing them there, and them look down and hear me, that might take some of the shine off their bliss.
Beckett, Samuel

30.
Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.
Butler, Samuel

31.
The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them.
Clark, Frank A.

32.
Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.
Spark, Muriel

33.
I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw this kid up.
Bishop, Russell

34.
If you want a baby, have a new one. Don't baby the old one.
West, Jessamyn

35.
Do they know they're old, these two who are my father and my mother whose fire from which I came, has now grown cold?
Jennings, Elizabeth

36.
Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
Powell, Anthony

37.
No test tube can breed love and affection. No frozen packet of semen ever read a story to a sleepy child.
Williams, Shirley

38.
The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.
Morrison, Jim

39.
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.

40.
The trouble with parents is that by the time they are experienced, they are unemployed.

41.
Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him.
Henker, Dr.

42.
The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health, is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time because it's too hard.
Lennon, John

43.
I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
Rimbaud, Arthur

44.
This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.

The word no Carries a lot more meaning when spoken by a parent who also knows how to say yes.
Maynard, Joyce

Parents, they're strict on you when you're little, and you don't understand why. But as you get older, you understand and you appreciate it.
Hill, Grant

47.
Where parents do too much for their children, the children will not do much for themselves.
Hubbard, Elbert

48.
The question that is so clearly in many potential parents minds: Why should we stunt our ambitions and impoverish our lives in order to be insulted and looked down upon in our old age?
Schumpeter, Joseph A.

49.
Parents giving the keys to the car act as if they are giving the keys to the kingdom.
Rothschild, William E.

50.
How many hopes and fears, how many ardent wishes and anxious apprehensions are twisted together in the threads that connect the parent with the child!
Goodrich, Samuel G.
